This initiative will provide a national platform for Australian companies, organisations, and emerging innovators to present their groundbreaking ideas to an international audience at Land Forces.

Australian organisations and individuals are invited to submit their innovations, regardless of their development stage, in one of four categories:

• Land Forces 2026 Innovation Award
• Land Forces 2026 Emerging Technology Award
• Land Forces 2026 Young Innovator Award
• Land Forces 2026 Blue-Sky Thinking Innovation Award

Finalists will be invited to present their innovations live to an audience of potential partners, investors, and customers at the Perth Convention and Exhibition Centre. Category winners will be announced onsite during the event.

Finalist scores are determined 90% by the expert judging panel during the submission phase, with the remaining 10% decided live by the Pitch Panel at the event.

Winners of the first three categories will receive a $30,000 cash prize, and the winner of the Blue-Sky Thinking Innovation Award will receive $10,000 to contribute to further personal and innovation development. All Winners will also receive a trophy prize.

An additional Best Presenter Award will be presented on the day, recognising outstanding delivery with a trophy prize only.
